Hello people.

Im picking up my 93' GTR on Friday.. I sure this has been covered before, but I just want a quick answer :laugh: I know the standard brakes are crap, but basically what is the best option as far as quality and value for money for an the upgrade & also what brake pads. Also where would I buy it from? I live in SA and car will be .. enthusiastically driven, no track work at this stage..

Cheers

Jon

well the standard brakes aren't that bad for road use really. As long as the caliper is working OK (no pistons seized etc) all you really need to do is put some good fluid in and bleed it properly. If you have trouble after that maybe throw some better pads in there.

If you want to upgrade the brakes althogether you are looking at $2-6k

Depending on how much you paid for the GTR, you may have to sell the car to pay for the brakes :)

But i would look at the rotors condition first. If they are still the std cross drilled jobbies i would replace them with new rotors, put a new seal kit through all four calipers and run good pad and fluids.

For the road they will work more then fine. If you cook your brakes on the street and you have covered the basics then you will be dead in a day or two so may as well leave some money to your family :)

There are quite a few threads that discuss the R32 brake upgrade issue...also have alook through the old for sale threads as there is always a bit of "will it fit this" type of stuff discussed. As well as the discussion of adaptors for standard calipers top bigger disks in the suspension section

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).

      EMU Classic. For what I need it to do I see no reason to upgrade. Link and Haltech would both cost an extra chunk of money for a lot of unutilized features
